• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCWM/DLV_API354 - HU &1: Status prohibits HU deletion. Only planned HU (status A) allowed ?

  The SAP error message /SCWM/DLV_API354 HU &1: Status prohibits HU deletion. Only planned HU (status A) allowed typically occurs in the SAP Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) module when you attempt to delete a Handling Unit (HU) that is not in a status that allows deletion. 
  Cause:
  The error indicates that the Handling Unit (HU) you are trying to delete is not in the "planned" status (status A). In SAP EWM, HUs can have various statuses, and only those with a status of "A" (planned) can be deleted. Other statuses, such as "B" (in process), "C" (completed), or any other status, will prevent deletion.
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check the Status of the HU: 
  
  Use transaction codes like /SCWM/HU to display the details of the Handling Unit and check its current status.
  
  
  
  Change the Status: 
  
  If the HU is in a status that prohibits deletion, you may need to change its status to "A" (planned) if applicable. This can be done through the appropriate transaction or program, depending on your business process.
  
  
  
  Review Business Processes: 
  
  Ensure that your business processes are aligned with the handling unit management. If HUs are being processed or have been completed, they should not be deleted.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation: 
  
  Refer to SAP documentation or your organization's internal guidelines for handling HUs to understand the implications of changing statuses or deleting HUs.
  
  
  
  Contact Support: 
  
  If you are unsure about the status change or if the HU should be deleted, consult with your SAP support team or a functional consultant who specializes in EWM.
